Im concerned

My Gypsy who we've had for about a week I know will eat and uses her litter box what I've seen personally a couple times. But I'm extremely concerned that I never see her eat unless I give her wet food or present her with the dry food personally.

At the shelter they fed them whatever so I don't think she's particularly picky, I'm just extremely concerned that unless I give her wet food or food placed directly infront of her she's not eatting.

I don't see her drink either. I'm worried. I'm sure she's eatting, and maybe so when it's quiet and Harvey isn't around to bother her or us watch her....I dunno though.

Someone help calm my nerves and reassure me that she's ok.

I would rather know for sure and would keep her in a room with her supplies. I would offer as much wet as you can.

You've only had her a week so she's probably still adjusting to a new environment. If it were me; I would either go to a "measured" free feeding so I could keep track of how much is eaten and put her on a wet food schedule maybe twice a day and watch how much she eats. Is she in a temporary safe room right now or does she have access to the entire house?

She's got total access to the house.
